A synth that hands over the wheel and dares a producer to gamble. Scrap Brain Audio put out WX for $12, a small probability-driven box where double-clicking a radar screen rolls an entirely fresh patch.
Each roll scrambles waveform choice, filter flavor and tuning, ADSR behavior, drift, wet-dry balance, and modulation. The odds got tuned through statistical work under the hood, which keeps results musical instead of pure garbage noise.
Fewer knobs is the point. Scrap Brain Audio trimmed the panel deliberately, betting that exploration beats parameter paralysis, and the patch pool supposedly stretches into the billions.
Beneath that radar sits a multi-voice oscillator engine, detune spread with analog flavor, a multi-mode scan filter, and envelope loop modulation that keeps moving.
Effects come baked in, with STFT Signal Loss, a Decimator for bitcrushing, Stereo Chorus, Delay, and Reverb handling grit, width, and lo-fi wreckage.
Windows 10 and 11 users on 64-bit get VST3 alongside a standalone build. Mac support in AU and VST3 sits in development.
